Ian Kinsler not in Tigers' Wednesday lineup

Detroit Tigers second baseman Ian Kinsler is not in the lineup on Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies.

What It Means:

Kinsler will get the afternoon off against the Rockies, as Dixon Machado takes over at second base. Machado is also hitting up in second against right-hander Chad Bettis.

Our models project Kinsler to post a .275 batting average, with 3 home runs, 12 RBI, 16 runs scored, and 4 steals over 114 plate appearances remaining this season.
